The rooster crows in the morning, and the crows are noisy in the evening. Who doesn't want to go to the world of mortals?
The road is long and the water is long, but all the fame lies in Chang'an Road.
Today you will be young and you will be old tomorrow. Mountains are still good; people are haggard.

…
Five hundred ships of grain and grass shipped by the rebel general Fu Ziang from Jiangzhou were intercepted by the Tang navy in Dangtu.
After learning the bad news, Liu Zhan could no longer sit still. Without food and grass, the rebel navy could not hold on for long in Jiangning.
Liu Zhan sent several pigeon letters to contact the Japanese navy, hoping that the Japanese navy could enter the mouth of the Yangtze River to respond. The two sides met at Jiangyin.
At the same time, he ordered his general Qu Tu Xiaobiao to withdraw from Haozhou and join forces with him to enhance his strength.
After An Lushan's rebellion, many generals emerged in the Tang Dynasty. Various princes had a large number of brave generals under their command. Generals such as Fu Zi'ang and Qu Tu Xiaobiao were among the best.
When the distance between the two ships was less than two feet, the rebel soldiers threw out a cable with an iron hook, hooked the Tang Navy's warship tightly, and then pulled it hard.
The lynx held its breath, stretched its bow and set an arrow, pushed Mount Tai with its front hand, held the tiger's tail with its back hand, pulled the string and swept across its chest, and struck the target with one punch.
The three giant ships rushed out of a bloody path, split the Tang Navy in half, and headed straight for the flagship of the Tang Navy.
Qu Tu Xiaobiao led twenty warships into the hinterland of the Tang Army's navy. He kept sending warships out to resist the Tang Army's warships coming from both sides, while he led three giant ships to attack the largest ship.
The main ship of the Tang Army.
After the armies of Qu Tu Xiaobiao and Liu Zhan joined forces, Liu Zhan mobilized his naval forces to evacuate Jiangning, go down the river, and go straight to Jiangyin.
Sheng Hailiu waved the command flag in his hand, pointed at Qu Tu Xiaobiao's warship, and shouted: "Surround these three enemy ships!"
The two ships collided and closed together. Qu Tu Xiaobiao picked up the long spear, jumped into the Tang army's warship, and swept the long spear across, knocking several Tang army soldiers to the ground.
The main mast on the rebel giant ship was burning and creaking. It could no longer withstand the collision and fell down, smashing dozens of soldiers into coke...
At the critical moment, a thousand-stone ship suddenly came from the diagonal thorn and crossed in front of the Qutu Xiaobiao ship. Amidst the shouts of exclamation, the two ships collided with each other, with sawdust flying and waves splashing.
The warship shook violently.
Ding Jiuqu's battleship was extremely fast. When it approached the Tang army's flagship, Ding Jiuqu personally maneuvered the boat and used the ship's trajectory to create huge waves.
Taking advantage of the exchange of fire between the rebel giant ships and Qu Tu Xiaobiao having no time to take care of the Tang army's flagship, Ding Jiuqu personally drove a warship to rescue Tang Kui.
As his name suggests, Qutu Xiaobiao is known as the "Desperate Saburo", he is good at assault, brave and good at fighting.
"Lynx, this is a tiger general, he must live."
Qu Tu Xiaobiao is truly a brave man. He is trapped in a tight siege and fights alone, but the more he fights, the braver he becomes and he is unstoppable!
Although Liu Zhanjun didn't know why Qu Tu Xiaobiao suddenly launched an attack, the Tang army's navy was not on guard. The forward troops retreated one after another. Qu Tu Xiaobiao ignored it and went straight to the Tang army's central flagship.
It was Sheng Hailiu who arrived in time on a warship.
Qu Tu Xiaobiao held his breath and gritted his teeth. He wanted to rush out from the gap between the two ships before the Tang Navy's navy completed the outflank.
Hundreds of rebel soldiers followed Qu Tu Xiaobiao and rushed onto the Tang army's warship. The two sides launched a bloody battle of life and death on the deck.
On the Tang Army's warship, he poured water into the Chang'an Dance and knocked away countless arrows. Turning around, the Chang'an stabbed into the bodies of the Tang soldiers behind him, slashing and assassinating them, leaving them in and out of nowhere as if they were deserted.
Hundreds of Meteor Repeating Crossbows on the Bed Nu Hai Loach opened fire at the same time, weaving several arrow nets to suppress the rebel firepower.
Intensive rockets were shot from all directions, igniting the kerosene on the rebel giant ships, and the three warships were quickly engulfed in flames.
Seeing the huge ship Qutu Xiaobiao rushing towards him, he panicked. Tang Kui quickly ordered the flagship to take shelter. Unexpectedly, it rained all night, and due to the sudden turn of the rudder, the flagship of the Tang Army's navy ran aground in the shoal.
The rebels were surrounded by three giant ships.
Qu Tu Xiaobiao led his fleet to sail slowly out of the rebel naval camp. Even the rebels themselves thought he was out for a cruise and did not beat drums to help.
…
"General, abandon the ship and escape!" a soldier shouted anxiously.
The stunned generals of the Tang army recovered and immediately commanded their warships to stop them.
The warship in Shenghailiu was fast, but its hull was light. After the collision, it was immediately cracked. A large amount of river water poured into the cabin, and the ship began to sink rapidly. Dozens of sailors jumped into the water to escape in a hurry.
Seeing that these three giant ships were surrounded by more than 30 warships of the Tang Army, with no way out and pursuers behind them, the rebel giant ships not only showed no signs of retreat, but accelerated and surged.
Qu Tu Xiaobiao was trapped in a tight siege and was not afraid in the face of danger. He glanced around, and through the billowing smoke, he saw a Tang Army warship within fifty steps to the left.
The three giant ships formed a formation, broke through the first blockade, and rushed towards the flagship of the Tang Army Navy, which was several miles away! It was not until they rushed to the Chinese Army that the Tang Army Navy realized that his target was the flagship of the entire army.
!
"Kill me!" Qu Tu Xiaobiao yelled.
"Kaka", the bow string was tightened, the iron arm bow was stretched out by the lynx, and the iron cluster of the wolf tooth arrow was tightly locked between the eyebrows in the middle of Qutu Xiaobiao's head.
"Whoosh"
Qu Tu Xiaobiao could clearly see that on the mast of the ship, which cost thousands of stones, there were flag soldiers raising flags and giving orders. This must be the flagship of the Tang army. If they mainly occupied this main ship, they would win a complete victory.
"Raise the sails, lower the oars, and move forward at full speed!"
At this time, on the flagship of the Tang army, Tang Kui was leading a group of marching commanders to observe the water battle.
Qu Tu Xiaobiao's giant ship also suffered heavy damage and was forced to stop.
Sheng Hailiu stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the three rebel warships approaching.
The navy of the Tang Army immediately surrounded them, and nearly twenty Tang Army warships surrounded the three giant ships of the rebels.
Qu Tu Xiaobiao, holding a long spear in his hand, bent his waist, and led his soldiers to lie beside the parapet of the ship. The dense arrows from the Tang army's navy passed over their heads, and when they raised their heads for a moment, they were shot dead on the spot.
In order to boost morale, Qu Tu Xiaobiao personally stood on the bow of the ship holding a long spear to show that he would never retreat. The soldiers were impressed by their courage and fought with all their strength. Three giant ships actually fought their way out of the siege.
Qu Tu Xiaobiao was so brave that he rushed into the front line of the Tang Army's navy alone. At this time, both sides of the battle were stunned by his desperate move.
When Qu Tu Xiaobiao's life was hanging by a thread, Bai Fu's soft voice suddenly came to Lin'er's ears, which sounded like a person beside him. It was Bai Fu's superior internal power of "transmitting sound into the secret" that sent the clear voice.
instruction.
Holding a large iron bow, he came to the watchman and said calmly: "Don't panic, tell me, which one is Qu Tu Xiao Biao?"
Qu Tu Xiaobiao's eyes were sharp, like a wild wolf preparing to kill an antlered deer. His main ship and the two auxiliary ships beside him were both thousands of stone warships.
Earthen jars filled with kerosene were thrown by the trebuchet on the Tang Army's "Thunderbolt Falcon" and hit three giant rebel ships. The jars shattered and kerosene burst out.
Qu Tu Xiaobiao's main ship and the two auxiliary ships beside him were both thousands-stone warships. The two auxiliary ships kept a certain distance from the Tang Army's flagship to avoid running aground. Qu Tu Xiaobiao's main ship continued to charge forward, trying to
Use the huge hull to crush the Tang army's flagship.
The rebel warship that was burned by the fire slowly turned around, rowed to the left and forward along the current, and slowly approached the Tang army's warship.
…
The soldier pointed forward with his finger and saw a man on the deck of the warship dancing with a long sword. His figure was strong and strong, and the wind was so strong that dozens of people could not get close.
When the rebel navy arrived at Baisha (Yizheng City, JS Province), it was intercepted by the Tang Army navy.
The flag soldiers on the mast waved their flags, and more than thirty warships surrounded Qu Tu Xiao Biao's three giant ships from three directions.
Liu Zhan has been suspicious all his life, but he has great trust in this person.
The lynx rode the "Red Horse" with a red hull and came to the scene of a fierce exchange of fire between the two armies of the navy.
He pointed at the Tang army's warship and shouted loudly: "Turn around and get closer to that warship!"
The navy of the Tang Army did not pay attention at first, but Qu Tu Xiaobiao did not follow the rules. When he arrived at the center of the river, he suddenly led his warships directly towards the flagship of the Tang Army without stopping!
Capture the heads of enemy generals from an army of millions!
Qu Tu Xiaobiao's tactics were obvious: to capture the thief first, capture the king, and then rush into the hinterland of the Tang Navy in an attempt to destroy the Tang Navy's main ship, which cost thousands of stones. As long as the flagship was destroyed, the Tang Navy would be defeated.
Only then did the flagship of the Tang Army's navy escape from the stranded sandbar and return to the navy's central formation.
More than thirty warships of the Tang Army were like city gates that were slowly closing, while Qu Tu Xiaobiao's giant ships had to rush out before the gates closed, risking life and death.
The wolf-fang arrow was like a meteor, cutting through a strange arc, grazing the side of the ship, and hit Qutu Xiaobiao's calf right in the middle.
"oops"
Qu Tu Xiaobiao felt pain in his calf, holding on to the pole, and with a clang sound, he knelt down on one knee at the bow of the boat.
It was too late, but soon, a long rope flew out of the river in front of the bow, like a living thing, wrapped around Qutu Xiaobiao's legs, and dragged him from the side of the ship into the water...
